htgettoken

htgettoken gets OIDC bearer access tokens by interacting with a Hashicorp vault server configured for retrieving and storing OIDC refresh tokens using the htvault-config package.

For details on its usage please see the man page.

Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems is included. Rpms are distributed in the Open Science Grid yum repositories. After enabling the OSG repositories, do this as root to install it:

yum install htgettoken

htgettoken and Vault are also integrated with HTCondor. It is available in HTCondor versions 9.0.6 and later.
